LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Science 37, the industry leader in decentralized clinical trials, announced today that David Coman has joined the company as its chief executive officer.

Coman joins Science 37 from ERT, a global data and technology company that helps minimize risk in clinical trials, where he led its data and analytics business after serving as the company's chief strategy officer. Prior to ERT, Coman founded the Digital Patient business at Quintiles (now IQVIA) while also serving as the company's chief marketing officer. During his more than 25 years of experience Coman helped pioneer some of the industry's first decentralized trials while driving significant growth and enterprise value.

"We're delighted to welcome David as our new CEO," said Robert C. Faulkner, chairman of the Science 37 Board of Directors. "We conducted a thorough process, and we believe David's relevant industry experience and track record of strong execution, as well as his passion and clear vision for decentralized trials make him the right leader for the next phase of Science 37's growth."

"I'm honored to have the opportunity to lead this company, which has undeniably changed the way the industry looks at the drug development process," Coman said. "Science 37 is the only company that has the complete technology stack, experienced telemedicine and home-health network, and embedded talent, to design and execute fully decentralized trials. I look forward to helping ensure we continue to make decentralized trials a reality that will dramatically shorten development timelines forever."
